    Default Vanguard - JimZ Bushings? Holey Bushings? Something else?

    Which do you guys think would ride nicer on a Loaded Vanguard, JimZ bushings/ holey bushings or something else in grizzly bear trucks/randal 180's? also, where do you order holey bushings from? cost doesn't really concern me... so I don't really care that the JimZ bushings are expensive.

    Love my JimZ.
    can't speak for holey or Vanguard.
    People say that board was built for R2's though.

    Radikal bushings.


    160 pounds;

    Clear up front:
    *Rad Stim bottom, Rad Barrel on top
    Red rads in back:
    *Rad Stim bottom, Rad Barrel on top


    'Tis my favorite bushing setup for my Vanguard so far.
    My only gripe about it is that you can't angle your front foot more than 45 degrees or so while in a tuck with 75a bushings (loss of adequate leverage/control over the bushings; loss of stability), over 30mph it gets to feeling waaaay unstable.

    Yes. Radikal bushings + RII 180's totally rock on a vanguard. Mine is set up symmetrically with a clear rad stim bottom and Khiro orange barrel top. I weigh 160.

    I'd like to try the Bear Grizzly trucks on my Vanguard, but the Randalls are really great on the board anyway. Switch the yellow randall bushings for Tracker Hourglass bottoms and white Khiro Bitch tops. This will give you a SICK carving machine. The randall bushings are kinda stiff.
